2. book your space

The courses have limited capacity and we can only take 6 people on this journey at any one time. Both Hoam and Sugar Stealers have a huge network and the demand for music tuition has notoriously been very high, so we urge you to secure your spot as soon as possible because once the spaces are gone, they are gone!

The cost of the entire course and all the perks totals at £100. We have worked hard to keep this offering as cost-effective as possible, and when broken down on an hourly basis the cost of this tuition is £10ph. This covers fees for the tutor and space.

No dates available to book?

That means we are currently sold out. Join the waiting list here.

We are currently exploring ways in which we can subsidise these costs for people from low-income backgrounds. We have not yet secured public funding to make this a possibility, but are currently running a Pay It Forward scheme where members of our community can contribute towards funding the tuition of someone facing financial difficulty.

You can donate to this scheme here: Pay It Forward Scheme

If you are someone facing financial difficulty, and are interested in participating in the course - please reach out via email to join our support waiting list.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • All students must be aged 18+ to participate in this programme.

  • Yes, absolutely. Support workers can attend the studio to support you during the sessions. Support workers do not need to book, but you must highlight their attendance in the accessibility section of your booking form.

  • Assistance dogs are fully protected under the Equality Act 2010 and are allowed into public places. You are welcome to bring your assistance dog to the sessions as needed but you must highlight their attendance in the accessibility section of your booking form.

    We recommend that you bring a note book and pen as you may want to write things down.

    If you have your own laptop, Logic software or instruments you are welcome to bring them along and we can show you how to work using your own equipment, but this is not a requirement and you can still learn the basics if you don’t have access to these.
